I’m back to help anyone who also found this video to be unhelpful! It turns out this doesn’t work but if you tap the “N” in the layer you want instead of the two finger tap it’ll bring up the option to adjust opacity! You’re welcome!

If I were you I would learn how to use Amazon KDP and self publish volumes there. Choose the 8x10 book option. You will need to do some formatting but then your work will be on a mass marketplace and more easily discoverable. A good start kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdGqntOftsXXZ6c.htmlsi=0aPAbL4wQRfqKnkg

Yes.

And they got that point across through sequential visual art. (Which is basically what comics are) 🤘🏻✏️

@@DJCoffman So really a temple or a pyramid is like a trade paperback for all the wall carvings.

Rock paper comes with metal nib as well

It’s a good thing this video isn’t about “fine art prints” 😂 but I promise you these last and do the job for fans

Yeah it obviously isn't. Lol

Tell me about it... everyone failing at what they claim to do is now making us watch long videos to make money 😅 they should just get to the point so you can go back to making money

Definitely not failing over here 😄😄

You’re right, my newer videos I try to cut out all the fluff. Thanks for watching anyways

I draw for about 10-12 hours a day on mine. I did finally have to replace it after I got some scratches. One thing to note is there is a 1 year warranty as well. The version 2 they just put out I didn’t have a great experience but they replaced the defect right away.

@@DJCoffman yeah just got v2 in the mail a week ago pretty good so far.good to know about the warranty. Could imagine spending this much on a screen protector every 2 months

I just choose red or blue pencil lines for the roughs to get the pose the way I like it and tightened before “ inking. “ - I think of penciling and roughing like “molding and shaping” the “clay” -

@@DJCoffman mmm. Sorry if my tone is pushy or rude, by the way. I'm direct and aware of my own ignorance, as a thing to cure. I know many people choose to do tight pencils. I think what I'm interested in knowing is what value you think you get out of tight pencils, when your style seems to me to lend itself to the much faster process of "going straight in with the inks". Ever since I met Dave Sim at Clint's Comics in Kansas City, that has been one of my biggest puzzles. Especially since I first picked up Painter 7 and a terrible tablet, it blows my mind; seeing someone who is going to ink their own stuff pour so much effort into pencils. You are not a fool...a few hours of listening to you shows me that... So either you have some good, valid reasons for laying it out, roughing, pencilling and THEN inking; or you have a blind spot in your process that could make your life easier if dealt with. Would your comics be as good if you skipped that entire intermediary step? 👀 😮 😳 I watched your pencil lines...It's not like you don't have confidence in your stroke. Anyway...I appreciate your work. Lotta good foods-for-thoughts. 👍🏿

@@nerfytheclown Hey not at all! Good conversation and happy to explain as best as I can. I describe it like "molding clay" because, sure I can sit down and say FWBWAM! here is a cup, or this thing I know how to draw over and over from memory. So for me, the rough captures the basic composition, pretty quick work. But then the second "pass" is getting it not only tight but I'm also "listening" to the character while I'm fleshing it out. I might ask myself, is the mouth right? Is this pose or position good enough? And so it's an opportunity to mold and shape some new expressions, slight movements, even the slightest "tuck" on an eye or body part can change the overall panel. That's the fun part! When that's down, then the "inking" just makes it more permanent. That's almost an automATIC PROCESS. All that said, these aren't even "tight" roughts to me. They are still pretty loose. Another thing is when you're working with somoene elses characters you need to take a little time to make sure you aren't going too far "off model" . That's it!

@@DJCoffman thanks so much for your feedback, buddy. I just got myself into position (through effort and pain...) to "become a full-time artist"...and for sure part of it will be responding to people here. Been studying KZfaq for almost half the time I've been studying art, so...hopefully I can contribute something cool. Cheers bro and thanks again for the videos. Similar encouraging vibe to Ed [rip] and Jim. Gonna go hit your newsletter.

@@nerfytheclown Thanks for the kind words!

They will re-print them for you. Did you ask?
